Initial set-up of your splitboard

Setting up your splitboard for the very first time is a little tedious but luckily it's just a one time event.

Voile Interface

1. For Voile, the first step is laying your board down flat and setting your bindings of choice on top of the board at your desired stance locations.
2. Once you've determined your stance width and angles, take one of the bindings off and line up the supplied plastic pucks. Screw them in tight but don't crank them down just yet. Repeat for second binding.
3. Now you are ready to attach the slider plate to your bindings. At this point you want to start thinking about toe and heel drag. Put your boots into your bindings and do your best to make them equal on the slider plate and the board. (The pucks can also be micro-adjusted to fine tune the toe and heel drag). Now slide the slider plate onto the pucks. Slide the pin into the pin-hole on the slider plate and determine how much play there is. Loosen the pucks to micro adjust the play until its a snug fit. When both bindings are lined up, tighten the screws on the pucks and the binding. Get your boots on and strap in! The Voile set-up out of the box has gotten easier over the years thanks to a new puck template and instructional video.

Burton Interface

For Burton the process is similar but the pieces are a little different.

1. First, choose between a 20, 21, or 22 inch stance on the splitboard.
2. Attach the crescent moon pieces to the board according to your desired stance and mount your bindings to the interface with the flower disc (but don't tighten all the way yet).
3. Open the release lever on the interface and set it onto the crescent moons. Line up your stance angles, close the release lever, and tighten down the binding/interface screws.

You're done. Personally I feel the initial "out of the box" set up is easier with Burton than Voile but as noted earlier, it’s a one time thing so it's not a big deal either way.

Grab a coldie or a soda and have fun with it.
